More than 3,100 people will graduate from University College Cork this month

The UCC Autumn conferrings start on Monday and will run this Monday (17) and Tuesday (18 October) and the following week on Tuesday 25th – Friday 28th October. There are three ceremonies most days at 10am, 12.30pm and 3pm.

Over 3,100 students will be conferred over a six day period spread over two weeks. We have some interesting students being conferred in the second week – we will alert you about them in good time.

Stuart O’Grady – who represented Ireland in hockey at under 21 level and who won the Home Nations and the Europeans in 2012 – will be conferred with a BComm tomorrow, Monday 17 October at 10am.

Also classmates of Colin Roynane who died in January of this year will wear a white carnation buttonhole during the BComm conferring ceremony at 10am. Colin went missing early on New Year’s Day and many of his BComm 4 class joined in the search for him.
